America keeps funding homelessness instead of ending it | Opinion

Imagine calling the fire department as your home burns, only to discover the firefighters have been pouring gasoline on the flames. Worse, they demand ever-larger budgets, congratulate themselves for responding to more fires and insist that questioning their effectiveness threatens public safety. Welcome to America's "Homeless Industrial Complex." Recent revelations from Seattle and New York show just how disturbing it has become. In Seattle, an independent financial review uncovered a staggering $16.7 million shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following years of financial mismanagement. The agency spent money it never earned, accumulated debt and incurred millions in interest expenses. Meanwhile, its CEO and her deputy earn more than $600,000 combined annually . Now Seattle and King County taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill . Across the country, an Oct. 31 New York Post investigation revealed that state Attorney General Letitia James' office has taken no enforcement action against three major homeless shelter operators despite serious findings against them by government watchdogs. Meanwhile, executives, lobbyists and associates connected to those operators contributed more than $56,000 to her political campaigns. Among the reported findings: One operator overbilled taxpayers more than $566,000; another faced scrutiny over insider transactions and

Poulsbo Historical Society secures new home for growing archives

The Poulsbo Historical Society is finalizing a deal to relocate its archives from city hall into a portion of Martha & Mary's former child care center. The organizations have announced they are in the process of applying for a city permit that would allow PHS to use the space located at 250 NE Sunset Street, located by the post office downtown. Poulsbo City Council voted to end a real estate contract with PHS in 2025 due to a need for extra space in city hall to accommodate growth in operations. The move will end PHS's decades-long connection to city hall, where the organization began in 1992 in a small storage room in the old building. PHS said that the organization's first dedicated public venue opened with the new city hall in 2010 and remained its sole museum space until the Maritime Museum debuted on Front Street five years later. PHS also operates the Poulsbo Heritage Museum next door and the Martinson Cabin dating back to 1897. Since then, PHS has used the space to store archives, conduct public research and host small meetings. The new location will provide room for collection growth and expanded research access, including records documenting Poulsbo's
